Piquet Jr., the first ever Formula E champion took pole after dramatic group qualifying sessions set the grid for the first Hong Kong ePrix. After a lengthy stoppage due to an accident suffered by Robin Frijns the Super Pole session was cancelled as Formula E cars need a specific amount of time to be charged before the race. Piquet’s 1m03.099s was 0.132s faster than teammate Oliver Turvey’s best, while the DS Virgin pairing of Jose Maria Lopez and Sam Bird share the second row of the grid.
